“I've taken some time to collect my thoughts on this subject matter, and it's very heartbreaking to say that Blitz has been stolen from my home last Sunday,” Whitehead wrote. “While out of town, Blitz was being taken care of by a close friend at my house and someone broke in and took him.”

He asks anyone who knows of his dog’s whereabouts to contact him immediately.

WFAA is attempting to obtain more information from police on the alleged break-in. The station has also reached out to the Cowboys for comment and has not yet received a response.

Whitehead got Blitz from Kings and Queens Bullies -- the same breeder where Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard got his pitbull pup -- this offseason. Blitz even has his own Instagram account, @blitz2fast, which has more than 5,600 followers.
